Winter Ops Course V1.0

Page 1 of 1

OBJECTIVE The Winter Operations Course for the Cessna Caravan is designed to teach Caravan pilots safety and operational information related to flight into known icing conditions in the 206 and/or 206B. This training meets and/or exceeds the Caravan pilot training requirements outlined in Advisory Circular 96-09-15 Amendment 399591; Docket No. 96-CE-05-AD.
Specific Elements Covered in this Course Check complete

Review of meteorology conditions leading to the possibility of icing conditions. NASA Deicing video(s) Required revisions to the FAA-approved AFM in the Procedures Section. Environmental conditions outside of those for which the airplane is certificated. Visual Clues of flying in icing conditions Unusually extensive ice accreted on the airframe in areas not normally observed to collect ice. Accumulation of ice on the lower surface of the wing aft of the protected area. Since the autopilot may mask tactile cues that indicate adverse changes in handling characteristics, use of the auto is prohibited when any visual cues exist or when unusual lateral trim requirements or warnings are encountered. All icing detection lights must be operative prior to flight into icing conditions at night. Visible rain at temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius ambient air temperature. Droplets that splash or splatter on impact at temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius ambient air temperature. Use of onboard deicing equipment Options and Procedures for Avoiding and/or Escaping Icing Conditions Specific procedures to each phase of flight from takeoff to landing Monitoring ambient air temps and increased vigilance required at temps around freezing with visible moisture. Requesting priority handling from ATC for route or altitude changes needed to exit icing conditions or to avoid extended exposure to icing conditions Avoiding abrupt and excessive maneuvering that may exacerbate control difficulties Autopilot masking icing conditions. Do not engage auto. If engaged, hold the control wheel firmly and disengage. Performance and controllability deterioration as a result of induction and structural Icing If an unusual roll response or uncommanded roll control movement is observed, reduce the angle-of-attack. Do not extend flaps during operations in icing conditions. Ops with flaps extended can result in a reduced wing angle-of-attack, with ice forming on the upper surface further aft of the protected area. If the flaps are extended, do not retract until the airframe is clear of ice. Reporting these conditions to Air Traffic Control Review of Cessna Winter Operations Booklet and other recommendations from Cessna Aircraft Company Airspeed and Flap Limitations in Icing Conditions Inflight Icing Scenarios
